Chrysler Classic of Greensboro @ Betfair

Summary:
No good here, even though both looked lively for a while and at different stages they both traded at around a third of the starting odds. Johnson fell away tamely after going down to 12/1 during round one and was particularly disappointing to not threaten in such a weak heat. Glover's struggles were on the par threes and you can't expect to be in with a chance if you are 6 over par for them in the first three rounds. Loss 4 pts.

Selection 2 Back:
Lucas Glover 1 pt @ 210 (or 200/1 at GolfingGods)
Several eye-catching little stats make for interesting reading with Glover:
--He was born in South Carolina, this tournament is in neighbouring North Carolina
--His best PGA Tour finish was in North Carolina, tied-10th at the Wachovia
--His 2nd best finish was last week, tied-15th with no rounds over 68
--His 3rd best finish was in South Carolina, tied-16th at the Heritage
--He played in either North or South Carolina 4 times in 2002 & 2003 on the Nationwide Tour, three of his finishes were tied-3rd, tied-4th & tied 8th.
So to summarise: he is in good form, coming off his best fortnight of his short PGA Tour career, and he is playing in an area where he was born, still lives, and where his last five appearances have been T3-T8-T4 (Nationwide Tour) & T16-T10 (Main Tour). We have already had four winners on tour this year who were playing full-time Nationwide Tour golf last season .... why can't Glover be number five?
Selection 2 Lay:
1 pts @ 36 (to lose 35 pts)
2 pts @ 22 (42 pts)
4 pts @ 8 (28 pts)
8 pts @ 3.8 (22.4 pts) Profit if successful = 81.6 pts

Selection 1 Back:
Zach Johnson 3 pts @ 33/1 at BlueSq
Just think this is too big a price about one of America's biggest new names (says a lot there, he is 28 after all!). He is in his first full season on tour but has already captured his maiden win and is looking very much like he is ready to add another. Current form of 3-13-3-10 is of a standard that surpasses the vast majority, if not all, of this field and to see him 33/1 alongside such names as Jerry Kelly, Robert Allenby & Brad Faxon - players whose reputations far outweighs their ability for winning golf tournaments - is very surprising. He has the potential to leave them way behind in years to come, and in this kind of form he should surely be no bigger than 20/1 in a field of this quality which is headed by vulnerable favourites. Only 32 to back on Betfair at the moment which is still acceptable if, or when, the 33/1 disappears.
Selection 1 Lay:
3 pts @ 9.2 (to lose 24.6 pts)
6 pts @ 4.3 (19.8 pts)
6 pts @ 2.64 (9.84 pts) Profit if successful = 44.76 pts
